| _____________________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 3:01pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] not to sound cocky, but my own drummer in the body farm. i can guarantee that maybe 4 people from this entire board have ever heard him play, so he's sort of "undiscovered" in the metal scene. hopefully we'll get off our lazy asses to record/play some shows within the near future so people can actually hear what he can do. i'll second chris helme and obviously darren cesca, and toss in devon from sexcrement-one of the most creative and groovy drummers i've had the experience to jam with, and ryan murphy formerly of dour cursiva. he was with the body farm for a few months and that kid can fucking play. excellent chops, control, speed, volume, and creativity. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 3:05pm - jesus_of_nazareth ""] The winner is John Gillis. You all have no clue. No heaven for you. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 10,2007 3:23pm - Mess ""] i'm with jesus on this one |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 3:37pm - the_reverend ""] except john is in cali now. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 4:24pm - ShadowSD ""] Casey Cullen and Matt Johnson are probably the two best out there locally. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 5:11pm - Metal Mega-Stud ""] Dave Suzuki. I win. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 5:19pm - atthehaunted ""] I honestly didn't think it was a competition. But hey if it gets u off then more power to ya. It's all based on opinion. Metal-Mega FudgePacker |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 6:33pm - sacreligion ""] our drummer ian was pretty badass but it turned out that he was only good at playing drums and nothing else |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 7:19pm - vein water ""] Jeff from Hirudinea |
| ___________________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 7:59pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Casey, or as i know him -Animal, from Suicide Dream [img] |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 8:06pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Josh Drolet from GOREALITY is great. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 10,2007 9:11pm - Hoser ""] Metal Mega-Stud said:Dave Suzuki. I win. Ooooh...well ya...you kind of do. Ummm....Hellhammer is the only guy that can compare in my opinion. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 9:19pm - porphyria ""] so everyone is basing this on just speed? hmmm... |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 10:33pm - secthammer ""] I bow to Darren Cesca, that guy is just way too good. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 10:41pm - BornSoVile ""] Some of favorites in no particular order. Jay (Reverend Grundar) Phil (Revocation) Dane (Porphyria) Jay (Abnormality, Goratory-Darren will never play with Jay's heart) Chad (Eternal Suffering) Mike (Bane of Existence) Jeff (Hirudinea) Johnny (Abhorred) Seth (Hekseri) Devon (Sexcrement) Steve (Cythraul) Mike (Godless Rising, Luekhorrea) Ed (Deconformity) |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 10:51pm - deadlikedave ""] yeah phil revocation is awesome kelzo from bugs and rats ad the glow is my favorite drummer to watch play |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 10,2007 11:15pm - Aegathis ""] never heard of that band |

| ____________________________________________ [Jun 11,2007 1:04am - TheFilthyFrenchman ""] Ian from Pillory is fucking nasty |
| __________________________________ [Jun 11,2007 1:09am - Samantha ""] Aegathis said:secthammer said:I bow to Darren Cesca, that guy is just way too good. i bow to your mom for being such a milf and raising you the be a better drummer than everyone else listed in this thread so far I second that. Little Anthony (Coffin Birth, Dreaded Silence) is a pretty sick drummer, especially for his age. I can't wait to see how well he can play once he is old enough to drink. Eric from Zircon is a really good drummer, too. Italian, food-obsessed, MILF-loving Anthony only plays with good drummers. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 11,2007 7:04am - DreamingInExile ""] A couple lesser known favorites of mine are: Joe - Hells Infinite VI (actually switched from drums to guitar) Brian - Valasyrka, Hells Infinite VI (switched from guitar to drums) then I have to agree with votes for: Little Anthony, Nick (L@Z), Dane, Seth and so many more. I give drummers credit, I can't play anything behind the kit |
| __________________________________ [Jun 11,2007 8:55am - sinistas ""] Lil' Ant goes without saying for me, since he constantly amazes me. |

| _______________________________________ [Jun 11,2007 10:14am - HungTableed ""] Jay from Abnormality fucking kills I dig Dane Porphyria's chops and Phil from Revocation's slaughter thrash style. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 11,2007 10:29am - Aegathis ""] Samantha said:Anthony only plays with good drummers. Cant say thats been 100 percent true, ESPECIALLY with previous Coffin Birth drummers. One thing that makes Little A soo good is how versatile he is. Hes played in like 4 bands in the past year and a half, and all of which were completly different sounding than the other. I had really only heard him playing in Pathogenic before I had actually seen him play, and took his word for it when he said he could play the Coffin Birth tunes. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 11,2007 12:37pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] TheFilthyFrenchman said:Ian from Pillory is fucking nasty ian definitely commands the fuck out of such a small kit. first time seeing pillory with him, i was in disbelief that he could pull off sounding anything like darren with that small kit. i guess that douchebag phil dubois is okay at the drums. he's better at chugging semen though. |

| _________________________________ [Jun 11,2007 1:52pm - Anthony ""] TheFilthyFaggothandler is pretty sick, I must admit. Darren is obv. nasty although hardly local anymore. Mike Read is a great drummer (Mechannibal), as is Jay (Aganihm/Unholy Trinity). Dane Porphyria, Ian Pillory, Christian from Deathamphetamine.. Devon from Sexcrement has a cool style; he knows how to rock the fuck out. |

I for one am not, I just believe Jeff from Hirudinea/Embryonic Cryptopathia is a snazzy drummer.

| ____________________________________________ [Jun 11,2007 10:28pm - enemybasslegion2 ""] 2nd Pete of dominatus. ive seen him him play many time and he never ceases to amaze me with something new. the drummers of revocation, porphyria, and abnormality are sick too. |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 11,2007 10:36pm - Neverpurified ""] as far as technical prowess, Madison from the Auburn System and Brian (ex-cadaveryne) are amazing |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 11,2007 11:07pm - ArrowHead NLI ""] Personally, I would rank Jay from Goratory, Ian from Pillory, and Mike from Bane of Existence as my three local favorites. Darren Cesca is a great drummer, but since Goratory/Pillory he hasn't really been in any bands I've been into. Also, The drummer from sexcrement impressed the hell out of me at the one show I saw him at. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 11,2007 11:12pm - RichHorror ""] Mike from BOE, Chris from The Accursed and John Gillis have always been the only local drummers that I liked enough that I could just watch them for the whole set. I know John moved to Cali. Whatever. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 11,2007 11:14pm - RichHorror ""] Mike from Dissector/my band I've always found to be pretty badass as well. |

| _________________________________ [Jun 12,2007 2:03pm - t2daeek ""] Paul Dumas from Brake For Moose. Most of you guys on this board probably wouldn't like the band, but this kid (having played in several drastically different groups with him) can play anything, and play anything really great. Funk, Jazz, Latin, Punk, Hardcore, Metal, Prog, you name it. and he can do it on a 10 piece or a 3 piece. Impeccable technique. great guy. no ego. Matt Ponte from Hive Smasher. I boast about my drummer quite frequently. You can't touch his feet. But then again, I've never seen anyone spend so much time refining their foot work. 16ths at 270. Hellhammer had to program 16ths at 290 on the new dimmu record, and he drops down to triplets live. Not to say that he's better than hellhammer, but he is only 20 and he's gonna get there. His drums actually sound good too. Bob Leahy. He's not really in a band right now that I know of, but the kid can flat out play. he doesn't put much stock into chops, but if you want someone to play something that rocks, he's the guy. |
